this may be a little late for halloween but on the bright side, it’s also just in time to use for christmas 🤭

[@Minixme08]

Omg so smarttttt

[@miau.marina]

Yeeees!! I was thinking the same!! Just add a Santa's hat and beard.

[@seungmininthebuildungriize.is7]

That's why it's the nightmare before Christmas 😗❤️

It’s before tho..

[@SeanHodgins]

I'm a huge fan of making really "inconvenient to wear" Halloween costumes. This is amazing!

[@Littlejem]

This is SO incredible! You are awesome and continue to be one of my biggest inspirations 💙🥹

[@crescentshay]

😭😭 girl right back at you!! You inspired me SO MUCH with this build - next up I gotta try helmet wigs and LEDs!

[@Sophie6lovplays]

I wish I could do this

[@Strawberry.Spookedd]

As someone who learned how to walk in stilts when I was 7 years old, I absoulutely love watching people walking in stilts (and sometimes falling)

[@bluevanilla32]

There is indeed something magical about it

[@MattSmith-b2k]

What 7?!😊

[@Miscellaneous_Minx]

They tend to remind me of newborn horses

[@chrismiller-nd2tv]

DID YOU SAY 7

[@Bobbobbity-e5g]

oh-

[@ladysnow4074]

You should absolutely take that to a con, won’t look out of season there 🤩

[@danitzasews]

I Mean technically nightmare before Christmas is christmas and halloween so it's not late I love this so much you did an amazing job. I appreciate the thrifting because honestly sometimes easier

[@stevenflebbe]

That was AMAZING!!! You did a great job engineering the hands! If you ever have to do pinstripes again, you could try a roller-ball fabric paint tube.

[@user-eu5qp4ty7y]

Petition for Shay to walk around a mall or something around Christmas time and be in the full cosplay!!!

[@seungmininthebuildungriize.is7]

Not a good idea kids will be traumatised I remember my Cousine wearing a mask and to this day I'm flipping terrified of masked people but she can definetly wear it to a con

[@madebymaryssa]

🎼What's this? What's this? Shay's walking 'round on stilts. What's this? Check out the hands she built. What's this? Grinning like a crocodile, suit extended by a mile, paint job that can't be reviled - what is this?! What's this? 🎵She's got a giant baseball that's wrapped around her head; the suit's lovingly painted rather than going to bed; there's a fancy tailcoat and a charming bat bow-tie; so many stripes; so much effort that cannot be denied ... 🎶Oh, look, what's this? Is that a child's mask? So big! It's perfect for the task! It's time - She's got giant skeleton hands, made of cardboard and rubber bands; and she's too tall to fit through doors, so she needs help to go explore; it's time for photos and for dancing and for showing off and for - what is this? 🎵Jack Skellington? Hmm ...

[@joycewilliams8111]

Love the lyrics! This should be set to music and played while Shay walks around as Jack!!!!

[@LinoyAleksandrova-yc4os]

nama

[@Porkyslady]

Absolutly adorable I love the new lyrics, to match her creating Jack, and it's project supplies used! Love it love it!

[@kennabrienn4437]

Im glad you followed through on painting the stripes the final result is STUNNING

[@twistedkidmatt]

Kicking myself for not knowing about the hollow baseball...I have made a full sized Jack Skellington yard decoration, and I have never been happy with how his head turned out. That idea is getting stolen and used for next year. The costume turned out great!

[@Oonagh72]

This is beyond marvelous!! I’m proud of you like you’re my kid! When you said “the hard part is done” I knew that was gonna bite you. It has happened to me a thousand times!! 😂😂 FYI-to anyone making a mask like that, put in more air holes. Trust me.

[@RoxxaneisON-TOP]

she could do irl dress to impress at this point bc ATE UP ur so talented love ur videos!

[@Jackandpeggs254]

If you need an idea for a project, I would recommend one of the outfits for the musical ‘Six’. They are a fascinating blend of a jacket and a dress (with lots of spikes) I know it isn’t what you normally do, but I’d love to see it! Love your videos!! Keep creating!!❤❤

[@amongdae]

needing to google every single height as a european who has no idea what feet is is painful lmao

[@crescentshay]

RIPP - the easiest rough conversion is that 3 feet is about a meter!! so hopefully that gives a quick sense!

[@LayennEitar]

1 ft is about 30 cm (30.48 to be exact), so having that in mind you can make quick estimations! But as a fellow European I understand the struggle 😅

[@ghoultooth]

I’m from the UK and we kind of use a mix. When someone asks your height, we give it in feet/inches (though I do also know my height in CM) and most of us have a rough estimate of what a certain amount of feet will look like. It’s an awkward one, I really prefer metres and centimetres lol

[@--.Blue.lightt.--]

AHHH I LOVE THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMASSS

[@kindalegendary-mh4wk]

omg turned out great!!! thanks for making a biblically accurate skellington for us

[@escapismmmm]

Hi Ms. Shay!! As a 12 yo fashion designer I really look up to you ! Ur so amazing!

[@Nugget-eq1sy]

Girl same I love to design and I’m also 12

[@SavageSnickerdoodleSketches]

OMG Sameeeeeeee

[@mikegardner107]

Stilts: Adjust to a boot that’s a few inches above normal comfort level. Wear it all day everywhere you go. When you get used to it, increase a few inches. Paint: is there a luminescent white paint? Would especially make the hands pop. Paint stripes: Instead of a brush use a pastry / frosting piping bag with a tiny hole or even a caulk gun. The paint might be a little thicker. Set up several plastic lines next to each other and a crank mechanism to pull the pants through the paint applicator. Or hold the pants still and move the applicator. Use tips off of plastic syringes attached to small plastic tubes. Spray nozzles would be great and might be made using one sprayer with the nozzle feeding into the multiple nozzles. The tall stilts scary? Transfer that scary into the character. Love the head! A fun great project. Looks awesome.

[@ghoultooth]

You shouldn’t alter a boot’s height without professional help because it can become incredibly unsafe to walk around in. What Shay did in the video is the best method

[@pharangaeljaw]

the mask coming together so easily and perfectly soothed something deep in my heart. excellent

[@hegga_nm]

Just considering making 10 ft tall Jack is absolutely redonkulous, let alone doing it! I LOVE IT!!! 😍

[@CHARJA78]

Agreed 👍 but the point is that if you want to make the suit you have to pay to make it

[@PumpkinSpikey]

Wow. This turned out so good ❤ You would be the hit of any Con. It’s really cute that your roommate got the experience of such s quality character interaction at home. I got to meet Jack and Sally at Disneyland once and you would shocked at how tall the man is that plays him. Disney doesn’t a weird thing with his head though so that his mouth can more freely 😂 your Jack has a much more approachable face.

[@LucyGem98]

You are literally a genius. The way you just find a way to create all of your projects and use all these different techniques and teach yourself literally everything is so inspiring. Not to mention your godlike patience. The look turned out amazing!

[@Therandomchanel1]

i loved how @femalepeterparker was in this video because i didn't know you were roommate until i saw her video on her channel and its so cool because i was following both of you for a long time. anyway i love your videos and I'm waiting for your next project. you are awesome

[@yammers8]

This video gave me so much nostalgia as Jack Skellington was the first homemade costume I ever had. Shoutout to my 3rd grade babysitter who helped me make the least height accurate Jack Skellington costume 😂

[@JSanime]

As a long time Jack cosplayer, I approve this cosplay! Love the painting on the suit. It's perfect.

[@MoonGaming4483]

16:45 Who's gonna tell Shay she could've dipped a really long string in fabric paint for each stripe?

[@prettyrat.]

Might have been messy/made splashes. And it wouldn’t have looked as nice to be honest

[@MoonGaming4483]

@prettyrat. Depends on how you handle it I think she could've easily made it look the same with a string

[@ghoultooth]

@@MoonGaming4483They’re right though, it’s harder to control and cleaning up any mistakes would have been awkward to do.

[@MoonGaming4483]

@@ghoultooth I know but I'm imagining if she were to take a bunch of strings and tie them tightly on a wooden frame and dip them in paint then plop it down on the pants it might've been easier

[@melgrimes7537]

hi from franceee :) inCREDIBLE like OMG first i am so in awe in front of your perfectionism, i feel you so much when you’re here painting at 6am because you want it to be the best looking costume possible ! and the PIECE!!! it reaaaally looks sooo so good and realistic (maybe the ball head could have been something else but the SUIT !!!), I assume that you were so tired in the end you did not plan it, but this costume would have really deserved a spookier presentation with some darkness / scary vibe and all :) anyway i love your work, I would love to see an Elie Saab style dress !

[@insecurecow4419]

For future or anyone wanting to do this, you can totally use masking tape to make the line work easier. Plus if you don’t prep the surface it’ll bleed through a little and won’t look so precise.

[@eggygecky]

12:41 HOLY CRAP THOSE SNORLAX OVERALLS ARE SOOOOO CUTE!

[@marthafadul6367]

Omg my cousin is a big fan of nightmare before christmas, and i showed her this . She was like omggggg and i am a big fan of you and you are amazing!!!!!

[@LostInColor]

GIRL THAT IS AWESOME!!! For Christmas you should make the Santa costume for him 😂❤️

[@the_eco_cosplayer]

Girl I am SCREAMING at you through the screen to wear a helmet on those stilts 🤣 It came out INCREDIBLE!!!!

[@opheliaalmqvist163]

Is it just me who adores the white paint on shays neck but not in the face for the finishing minutes? Adorable! 😍 You are awesome Shay!! 🔥🐦‍🔥🐦‍🔥🐦‍🔥🐦‍🔥

[@justherbirdy]

SHAY. This is AMAZING. You should be proud, so very proud - you learned so much and made a costume that's far more than the sum of its parts. If I saw you walking down the road on Halloween I, a grown adult, would be screaming and running. With the greatest admiration, but still screaming and running. Bravo!

[@Tsuki2033-w2v]

It’s too good.! I really like your works and videos.! You’re amazing.!❤❤❤

[@loudrct6689]

Okay this is INSANE wtf I’ve seen most (if not all of your videos) and this one is mind blowing !!! Crazy to see how much you’ve learned in a few years

[@HeatherRose23]

Oh m'gosh, that's such an awesome Jack Skellington cosplay! Adding the stilts and hand extensions definitely brought it up a couple notches. Congrats on an excellent creation!

[@harrieloll4476]

I so admire Shay's creativity and ability to try new things without expecting them to be 'perfect'. She is so talented and lovely, and we 💜Jack!

You did an amazing job! I love Jack and Sally from " The Nightmare Before Christmas", Yourbeing so resourceful, and determined was wonderful. I commend you on your determination to complete your project, I've never see a better hand made Jack ever, until now! Job well done!

[@skyer0blue]

You absolutely nailed this look! I agree, this is one of my favourite costumes that you've done!!

[@kanjifaith6619]

I love this costume! You could also do a Christmas look and have plenty of time before Christmas!

[@pumpkinsproutarts]

This looks incredible!!! But... Are the hands backwards? Edit: I think they were initially but in the outdoor reveal shots it seems like the fixed them and had them the right way round!

[@crescentshay]

i accidentally put them on wrong for most of the final shoot! 😅 i fixed it in the outdoor bits!

[@Harper-v8z]

I love your videos. You’re the entire reason I want to be a fashion designer your artwork is so good. Keep up the good work and you should make. The queen of hearts

[@Thisismymumsaccounthaha]

I feel so early watching this video There’s also me here at 1am procrastinating on sleeping while I watch you spend over 10 hours painting stripes on a jacket ;-; You’re honestly incredible and I love seeing how proud you are at the end

[@laceyalex2006]

You should do a bettlejuice inspired dress like Lydia’s dress or something with like the sand worms as like on the dress or something like that I think it will be coolllllll I don’t know how into beetlejuice you are but maybe take inspiration from the movies Tim Burton style it could be a banger I love you gurl I’ve watched you religiously since I found ya keep it up ❤

[@tksharkbait]

[@FlareFictions]

This is reminding me a lot about one of my costumes! I couldn’t stop thinking to myself: “I’m doing something right if the pros are doing it!”🤩 Ofc, I wasn’t on stilts, but I fallowed the exact same hand tutorial! And kinda Funny I was thinking about stilts recently. 😂

[@abbeyv4148]

This is hands down the most impressive cosplay I have ever seen!

[@composing-chaos]

It looks so good, but I feel like the pinstripes should have been wider. They are perfect for a 5 foot Jack. They kinda disappear because he’s twice the height. It looks so good, though.

[@Sukhbir2003]

OH MY GAWDDD THAT LOOKS AMAAAAAZINGGGG …. This his probably her BESTTTTT WORKKK
